Big Hole fishing

This past weekend while I was recovering from a LONG bus trip (4 hours on the bus on Friday and 13 hours on Saturday), Mikel went fishing with a couple friends. They were on the Big Hole River in Melrose, about 30 miles outside of Dillon.

They caught a lot of fish and Mikel caught a huge German Brown Trout (apparently the cool kids just call them Browns). It was the biggest Brown Mikel has caught on his fly rod yet.

The cell phone pictures are a little dark but it works!

parents visit

Last weekend, we were lucky enough to get a visit from my parents here in Dillon. You learn to appreciate having guests so much more when you move far away because it is a challenge for people to come see you (especially when you live in Montana and it's impossible to find a decent sized airport anywhere around)!

On top of the visitors, we came away 2-0 on the weekend and handed Rocky Mountain College their first lost to Western in at least 7 years (I can't find records before that)! It was a good weekend for sure.

Below are some of my dad's pictures from a drive we took to Kelly Lake, a spot where Mikel has fished before but I had never been.

We love having visitors and exploring Montana with them!
